Try unloading Snowbasin’s Middle bowl CTEC triple chairlift. It requires a sharp turn to the left because of a lodge infront of it. They relocated the top terminal downhill to make way for the lodge in 1998 I believe.
The original Scott was a Yan double. Looks to me like CTEC reused quite a bit, and just pushed the axles out a bit to increase line gauge on the towers.
It also looks like they modified the top bullwheel to make it wider. At the end of the typical Yan spokes is extra structure that I’ve never seen on any others.
Yeah, looks like they welded on an additional flange structure that has the standard CTEC liner retention bolts. Good catch, I didn’t see that the first time I looked at these photos.
Why is there a tire that the haul rope goes under on the light side on tower 6? Is its purpose to function kind of like a miniature combination assembly?

The unload on this lift is by far the most convoluted one I have ever experience.

Either extremely complex and difficult to follow or intricately folded, twisted, or coiled.

Or Chair 6 at Crystal. Middle bowl is definitely funky, but 6 can be almost impossible in a strong southwesterly.

I’ve ridden Scott for years, and I have never figured out why that is

I also noticed that on this lift and recently noticed this also is a feature on many of the towers on the Mayflower chair at Deer Valley
